Rary's Replay

5th-level divination

Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self (20-foot radius)
Components: V, S
Duration: Special

This spell allows the caster to perceive and experience residual psychic impressions left behind in a location. These impressions are remnants of past events, lingering as echoes in the area. The stronger or more significant the event, the clearer and longer-lasting the impressions.

Effects:

  • Upon casting the spell, the caster mentally witnesses the strongest psychic impression currently lingering in the area within a 20-foot radius. This replay occurs in real-time and is as vivid as if the caster were present at the original event.
  • The caster can clearly identify individuals, creatures, or objects involved in the event, provided they are visible within the replayed scene.

Replaying Additional Events:

  • If the spell is recast in the same area, the second strongest psychic impression is revealed. Each subsequent casting uncovers weaker and less distinct impressions until no impressions remain or the caster chooses to stop.
  • Each casting reveals one event, and the time required depends on the length of the original event.

Limitations:

  • The spell only reveals impressions from events that occurred within the area covered by the spell’s radius.
  • If no significant events occurred in the area, the spell provides no results.
  • Impressions fade over time; mundane events might linger for days or weeks, while significant or traumatic events may leave impressions lasting years or longer.
  • Events obscured by powerful magic (such as nondetection or antimagic field) cannot be perceived.

At Higher Levels. When cast with a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the radius of the spell increases by 10 feet for each slot level above 5th.
